My name is Mimma Mugnai and in my ceramics workshop in Pabillonis I shape clay into objects that tell the story and traditions of my village. I discovered this passion when I was young and over time I learned to work the earth with patience and creativity, creating pieces that combine art, craftsmanship and local memory. Pabillonis is known as “su bidda de is pingiadas”, the village of clay pots, thanks to its long tradition in terracotta craftsmanship. In my workshop I mainly create traditional pingiadas, along with other handmade ceramic objects.
Each piece is created slowly: the clay is shaped by hand, left to dry and then fired in the kiln, following the rhythm of traditional craftsmanship. Visiting the workshop means discovering an ancient craft and the deep connection between the earth, skilled hands and the traditions of Pabillonis.
